We will decorate them with a Christmas theme...Just think of the possibilities!!! They are endless!! Sign up time will end on September 3rd. This will give everyone plenty of time to find a silverplated spoon. Send out time or mail to your partner time will be by November 10th This will give everyone plenty of time to find just the right thing to make a special Christmas altered spoon!!!! Have fun!!! You can never be to kind! To find out what an Altered Spoon is, read the MJF topic "Altered Spoon Swap" or google to search "Altered Spoons" Smiles.....

annemary	Posted - Nov 30 2011 : 5:35:26 PM I love the necklace, too. So much fun!! Hi Laura, I just sent an e-mail too, but I'll post here too in case you're more likely to see it! I'm checking in on the spoon swap. I haven't received it yet, hoping it's just taking a bit longer with the recent holidays and that it's not lost in the mail! :) ~Anne #763
LadyInRed	Posted - Nov 24 2011 : 01:00:15 AM Loven the spoons girls! CJ on the last altered spoon swap I got a spoon necklace too (from a different MJF Sister) and I was so thrilled with it. I am still looking forward to getting mine on this swap. The anticipation is killing me...because I sent hers out way early because of my move.
